Whole person. Whole health.
When it comes to patient care, HSC is focused on the big picture.
What is Whole Health?
Caring for the whole person means more than treating their immediate symptoms. It means empowering people to participate in their physical, mental, spiritual and financial well-being, and creating environments where they can thrive. HSC is leading the way in promoting Whole Health in North Texas.
